A decent café nearby the Senate Square, vibrant colours in the cafe offering coffees, matcha, and hojicha drinks 😋 The raspberry lemon cake is delicious, fillings are just nice and not too sweet. This cafe can be busy with tourists so prepared to wait for an available table.

Just came for coffee/drinks, but they were delicious! Iced americano was very good, and they provide cream/milk as well as sweeteners for coffee drinks. Nice seating with lots of space, lighting and atmosphere very nice.

A really nice place, I keep wanting to come back again and again. They have a great selection of drinks, including some you don’t find anywhere else in Helsinki, plus delicious cakes and pastries! I haven’t had the chance to try their savoury options during brunch yet, but I definitely will one day
